WHILE THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS ON, WATER LEAKED THROUGH THE DASHBOARD. THIS CAUSED AN ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION AND DAMAGED THE RADIO SHORTING OUT THE HEAD LAMPS AND OTHER PARTS TO THE VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP REPLACED SO MANY PARTS WITHIN A 5 YEAR PERIOD. CONSUMER WILL SEND INVOICES SHOWING THE COMPONENTS REPLACED. *AK
SOUGHT VEHICLE HISTORY TO SEE IF AIRBAG SWITCH INSTALLED - COULD NOT GET PREV. OWNERS CONTACT INFO, AND COULD NOT LOCATE ON/OFF SWITCH FOR AIRBAG. CHILDREN RIDE IN THE FRONT OF THIS CAR, AND WE FEEL A SWITCH SHOULD BE INSTALLED W/OUT COST. ALSO CONCERNED WITH TSB 96010 (1/96) - A/C COMPRESSOR, AND MOST RECENT ONE ABOUT A POSSIBLE SEAT-BELT PROBLEM. I WANT MY QUESTIONS ANSWERED AND PROBLEMS CORRECTED, AS NEEDED.

THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE A/C CONDENSOR IN 1996. I HAD IT REPLACED BY THE DEALER AT N/C. THE LEAKING STARTED TO OCCUR AGAIN THIS SUMMER 1999. THE LEAKAGE ON THE FLOORS HAS CREATED AN ODOR IN THE CAR OF LIKE A MILDEW DUE TO THE HEAT. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR DUE TO THE SMELL.
